### What’s the Story?

“kiDnap GAME” follows an unprecedented kidnapping case unfolding simultaneously across seven Asian cities — Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha, and Manila. Seven individuals are each given different missions and forced into a deadly survival game, where they must complete their assignments before anyone else to save their loved ones and survive.
